Another chance to hear Guy Barker's profile of the German composer and band leader James Last. Contributors include Andy Williams, Graham Gouldman (of 10CC fame), Emanuel Legrand (global editor of Billboard), Mike Dixon (Musical Director) and Richard Clayderman. We hear from members of the band who have played with James over many years including Jim Sullivan, Terry Jenkins and vocalist Sue Glover. There is also in-depth musical analysis from Anthony Lewis Crosby (Managing Director of the London Mozart Players) and of course from Mr Guy Barker himself. This three-part series first broadcast on Radio in 2006 and episode two features James Last and his arrangements of the popular song.
